This technical note will first review the studies that were done for the Gun Test Facility (GTF) at SSRL, where a photoinjector similar to the one proposed for the LCLS is being tested. In Section 3 the maximum charge out of the gun for a single rf pulse is calculated. In Section 4, PARMELA simulations are used to track the beam from the gun to the end of the photoinjector. Finally in Section 5...

Ultra-wideband (UWB) radio is a promising technology for low-cost, high-rate communications at short ranges. However, high bandwidth and low power of the UWB signals impose some difficult challenges in signal processing and implementation of the receiver. Acquisition of the signal timing is the first task to be performed in a coherent receiver. The high bandwidth of UWB signals demand for fine ...

Attacks on cryptosystem implementations (e.g. security fault injection, timing analysis and differential power analysis) are amongst the most exciting developments in cryptanalysis of the past decade. Altering the internal state of a cryptosystem or profiling the system’s computational dynamics can be used to gain a huge amount of information. This paper shows how fault injection and timing ana...

In this paper, we present a new method for verifying the realizability of a timing diagram with linear timing constraints, thus ensuring that the implementation of the underlying interface is feasible. The method is based on the consistency of the timing constraints derived from the timing diagram and accepts unknown occurrence times for events produced by the environment.
